The Grove Grizzly Distance Learning On Friday, March 13th I sent parents a letter with information regarding our Distance Learning Plan that started effectively today. Please be sure to review the document completely and also review the Distance Learning FAQ for parents. If you still have questions, please feel free to contact me via email!  In addition, we will be continuing our daily video announcements for the school! Classroom teachers will share the links to the announcements with students, so please be sure that your child views them each day!!   Referendum Information A referendum question will appear on the March 17 presidential primary ballot seeking $147 million in funding to address urgent life safety and capital needs at Grove and all Barrington 220 schools. Click here to see how a successful referendum would specifically benefit Grove.   Polls are open on Tuesday, March 17 from 6am-7pm.
